 Not that I can see... Granted, I'm not trying to repartition a flash
memory, but the format operation on a 32GB "thumb drive" reports:

FAT32 (can be changed to NTFS or exFAT)
16kB allocation unit (can be changed to 8, 16, 32, 64kB)

 Okay -- digging up the Disk Management control as a test. A 256MB
partition defaults to FAT(16) with 4kB allocation size.
